Realistic, healthy eating new year resolutions

Drink more water

Drink about 3 litres of water in a day. Carry your water bottle where ever you go. Start your morning with a glass of lukewarm water to detox your body. Drink a glass of water half hour before having a meal and also after your trip to the bathroom.

2. Eat 2-3 servings or cups of fruits

Whenever you have sugar craving eat fruits. Eat seasonal fruits. Swap your bowl of chips, pasta, instant noodles with a bowl of fruit salad. Add a variety of fruits to your diet regime. Instead of jam, you can use mashed banana on your toast. Instead of adding chocolate powder make apple shake. Make apple pie or healthy pancakes with banana and eggs.

5. Eat whole grains

6. Switch to fat-free dairy

Have toned milk. Avoid trans-fat products such as mayonnaise. have low-fat Greek yoghurt.

Your body does not need refined sugar. So say no to high sugar product. To satisfy your sweet tooth go for jaggery, dates or honey. Avoid tomato ketchup and jams high in refined sugar. Instead of eating desserts high in refined sugar go for those that contain honey or jaggery.

8. Avoid processed, and junk foods

There are so many healthy as well as tasty food options to treat you such as sprout chat or bhel rather than eating fried and junk foods.

9. Limit the intake of fat

Whenever you go out for shopping before picking the food item read the label correctly and select the foods that are low in fat. Instead of frying eat steamed, grilled, poached, fried or roasted food.

11. Do not skip meals

Skipping meals slows your metabolism. So, have meals on time.

The busy schedule may not allow you to go to the gym, but you can still keep yourself active by just being regular with 30 minutes walk five days in a week. You may also opt for walking or cycling to your workplace.

Rest is the time when your body repairs itself. Make sure you get a sound sleep of 7-8 hours every day.
